a. Since the GCF of a and b is 5, it means that the missing prime factor in A must be 5. So, the value of A is 2x3x5.
b. The prime factorization of 210 is 2x3x5x7. To find the missing prime factors in B, we need to divide 210 by A, which is 2x3x5. The result is B = 7.
Therefore, the value of A is 2x3x5 and the value of B is 7.
